Can a 2 yr old play this? How tall does the child need to be? I'm thinking about getting this for my 35" tall grandson. Any ideas?Thanks,Jeanne

my 2 1/2 year old loves hers. She likes to "drive the motorcycle real fast".

My daughter is 35" tall (at nearly 3 years old) and seemed to be able to reach the pedals on an in-store display. The seat is adjustable. The problem is that some in-store smart cycles have the seat height fixed. A 35" tall kid might need shoes on to pedal properly, I think.

We bought this for out granddaughter for her 2nd birthday. I think it might be too tall or move too easy for a 1 year old. It is a great toy, tho.

I have three kids, 2, 4 and 6. They all love it, but the 2 yr old doesn't really drive it, just rides as a passenger. You could put a pillow to move him up closer, but honestly, my 2 year old doesn't really understand the steering or forward and reverse that well and the few times he tried to drive himself, we had to keep steering him or changing the gear. That said, if you get it now, he will have years of fun with it. My 6 year old is 49" tall and still loves riding it!

My two year old had a blast in it. I would say any child up to about 120lbs is fine. I will warn you that the quality of the toy is extremely low. It usually comes with holes in it and after a couple of uses can not be safely used any more.

In terms of the educational value, you're probably pushing its limits at 5.5 YO. However, I suspect 5-8 YO may enjoy just pedaling on a game regardless of its educational value.Your biggest concern will likely be the physical limits for the game. I've read a number of posts that indicated that 4 year olds with "long legs" had difficulty pedaling comfortably, even with the seat set at the "tallest" setting. I suspect an 8 YO would be at greater risk for this limitation....

Very safe but still need supervision. Plays well indoor and outdoors. My 2 year old nephew loves it both ways. He is a big kid 3 feet 4 inches about 30 pounds. Older cousins age 5 and 7 also play.

Hi, It's a very simple game but my nephew was 3 when he started to play it. A 2 year old might be a bit young, but might still enjoy watching as you play it with him/her.

Kids all vary, but I believe a 2-yr-old can use this. My youngest used the earlier model at that age and really enjoyed it, until another child, roughly the same age, couldn't appreciate it, and destroyed it. My daughter has this model now, and it has become a valuable learning tool. The game modules are adjustable in level of difficulty. If you are asking this question, there are probably good reasons you feel your 2-yr-old could grow with this. Buy it! You'll be pleased.

My 2 year old plays perfectly fine with it and loves it. Depends on the child (and the parents ;) )

It is small for a 5 year old, but my daughter (5) and son (2) play with it. You could always raise it up with furniture legs (for couches, made of wood, can get at hardware stores). We might do that in a little while.

Ordered for my 2yr. old grandson. He plays well with it, so maybe too young for 5 year old.

My little guy is 18 months and about 30lbs. It is perfect for him. I also have older kiddos that have stood on it and it holds up well...but they are not supposed to be on it. When I say older I mean age 7 and 10!!! My personal feeling is that this is a good slide until age 3...possibly 4 depending on size. Then I agree with the previous comment about them being too tall. Weight wise though I would say 40-45 lbs. hope this helps answer your question.

My husband and I are addicted to this game, and we're in our 50s. I think that kids 8-12 could play, but they probably wouldn't play as well as an adult. It does take some strategy and I think my grandchildren, who are near that age, probably wouldn't be very good players.

It is a suggested age of 3-8 by the manufacture. Although I would say age 2 could play, but would need a parents help with the transformation. Also any age above 8, my older kids love this toy.

No, definitely not too old. My son is two years and two months, measures 36 inches, and still can't fully reach both legs down. He can rock however and loves it.

Hi Joanie, not sure if this is actually suitable for a 2 yr old as the car moves very easily and makes it a bit difficult to control. Though it also depends on how mature the child is. I have a 15 months old boy that tries to play with it and manages to move it but we only allow him to try on flat surfaces and for small amount of times. I have to say though, that it is by far one of the best toys we've gotten our 5 yrs old. It's fun and easy to handle for him.

No it's about 3 feet tall until you start playing the game. Then it can get taller. Blocks are very heavy and not good for small children when it tumbles over.
